Opening 5/3

The year is 2044: artificial intelligence controls all facets of a stoic society as humans routinely "erase" their feelings. Hoping to eliminate pain caused by their past-life romances, Gabrielle (Léa Seydoux) continually falls in love with different incarnations of Louis (George MacKay). Set first in Belle Époque-era Paris, Louis is a British man who woos her away from a cold husband, then in early 21st Century Los Angeles, he is a disturbed American bent on delivering violent "retribution." Will the process allow Gabrielle to fully connect with Louis in the present, or are the two doomed to repeat their previous fates? Visually audacious director Bertrand Bonello (Saint Laurent, Nocturama) fashions his most accomplished film to date: a sci-fi epic, inspired by Henry James' turn-of-the-century novella, suffused with mounting dread and a haunting sense of mystery. Punctuated by a career-defining, three-role performance by Seydoux, The Beast poignantly conveys humanity's struggle against dissociative identity and emotionless existence.

From visionary filmmaker Luca Guadagnino, Challengers stars Zendaya as Tashi Duncan, a former tennis prodigy turned coach and a force of nature who makes no apologies for her game on and off the court. Married to a champion on a losing streak (Mike Faist - West Side Story), Tashi's strategy for her husband's redemption takes a surprising turn when he must face off against the washed-up Patrick (Josh O'Connor - The Crown) -- his former best friend and Tashi's former boyfriend. As their pasts and presents collide, and tensions run high, Tashi must ask herself, what will it cost to win.
R | 2h 11m

WickedLittleLetters.jpg

A 1920s English seaside town, Littlehampton, bears witness to a farcical and occasionally sinister scandal in this riotous mystery comedy. Based on a stranger than fiction true story, WICKED LITTLE LETTERS follows two neighbors: deeply conservative local Edith Swan (Olivia Colman) and rowdy Irish migrant Rose Gooding (Jessie Buckley). When Edith and fellow residents begin to receive wicked letters full of unintentionally hilarious profanities, foul-mouthed Rose is charged with the crime. The anonymous letters prompt a national uproar, and a trial ensues. However, as the town's women -- led by Police Officer Gladys Moss (Anjana Vasan) -- begin to investigate the crime themselves, they suspect that something is amiss, and Rose may not be the culprit after all.  R | 1h 40m

TroutFilmFestival_edited.jpg

Announcing Fly Fusion’s Trout Tour! A well-formed excuse to get together with fly-fishing friends and take in an epic collection of trouty films from Gilbert Rowley, Phil Tuttle, The Braker Bros, Todd Moen, RA Beattie and Fly Fusion Films. Premiering in Sundance this March, the films will make their way around the American and Canadian West. Limited cities, limited tickets and monster trout. See below for tour dates and tickets!

 

In association with the International Fly Fishing Film Festival. Presented by: Scientific Anglers, St. Croix, Skwala and Yeti.

Official Selection: Far and Near

​

As fly anglers we are explorers. Fish are only one element of the adventure, and thank goodness because fish don’t always cooperate. The fish aren’t  something we can predict, but as we plan for trips, as we dream about the experience, we can only imagine how it’s going to turn out. We travel anyways, both far and near, with hopes of adventure. Only at Fly Fusion’s Trout Tour in 2024!

 

Filmmakers: Gilbert Rowley and Phil Tuttle.

Charles Meier has been in love with fly fishing for as long as he can remember, and he is almost always with his partner in crime, Dawson. Experience the beautiful waters and landscapes of Montana as we explore themes of friendship, loyalty, and companionship within this uplifting short story.

Official Selection: Focus

​

An inspirational fly-fishing film about an adventurous couple, Faceless Fly Fishing, pursuing their passion, which leads them on a memorable adventure under a smoke soaked prairie skyline in search of the perfect image of oversized dry-fly sipping rainbows. For those who’ve never had a trout rise to a dry, a fish might just be a cold-blooded creature with fins and spots, but to you and I they’re the objects of our memories, of our pictures, of our attention. They’re why, as we leave the river, we’re already dreaming about the next trip. Only at Fly Fusion’s Trout Tour in 2024!

In “Spring Creek Symphony” Todd Moen provides a special look into a place that many only dream about. Moen’s work allows viewers to virtually experience the allure and complexity of Montana’s spring creek waters. Beginning his filming career nearly three decades ago on the Gallatin, Yellowstone, Lamar and Madison rivers, Montana holds special value in his life’s work. This connection to his home state includes a mastery of capturing the unique qualities of Montana’s spring creeks. “Spring Creek Symphony” highlights a fun twist with Moen’s classic filming style and story telling.

​

A collaboration with Phil Tuttle and Gilbert Rowley results in one of the most remarkable films from the Fly Fusion vault. The Road Home is a journey along a secluded Rocky Mountain stream filled with feisty cutthroat and large bull trout lurking deep under logjams. A grand cinematic experience intimately revealing the sights and sounds of a river alive with trout feasting on green drakes. The Road Home is a fusion of awe-inspiring cinematography and tantalizing dry-fly takes. Only at Fly Fusion’s Trout Tour in 2024!

Official Selection: Finding Water

​

For most of us, even though fishing in the winter can be fantastic, the number of times we get out decreases significantly. However, our anticipation for spring increases, especially with the longer winters. We dream of spring when the ice melts, rivers run clear and willing trout are, once again, willing and eager to eat our dry flies. However, winter doesn’t always give way to spring willingly and finding water can be a challenge. Only at Fly Fusion’s Trout Tour in 2024!
